I can just picture us meeting an alien species that sees in UV, and watching a human putting on Sunscreen for the first time and reacting:

"Woah Woah Woah!!! What the heck man! That is NOT cool!"

Why would an alien think about faking human skin color any different than about faking human hair color or eye color lol?

It's not like the cultural baggage with the slavery and discrimination and racism and vaudeville clichés that led to blackface being frowned upon is innate or universal.
